Radius knurling tool

There is always something new to learn. Anyone have a good idea how to generate a radius knurl? It doesn't have to be a full cross hatch knurl, a simple one line knurl would work fine.

Want it to make small lock nuts like those found on early scopes or like those found on early Lyman die lock rings. Very rarely one sees special radius knurls for sale on ebay and I have found at least one set in a catalog but there has to be a simple way to generate this form of knurl without putting the farm in hock.

Thanks for any info you can come up with. Ray C Registered Registered.

And there are a lot of different types. The knurl wheels are set at an angle, making the knurling edges of the knurl wheels cut into the blank. Pressure is minimized while speed and feed are increased. Dovetail knurling head locking system. Quick and precise center line setting. Knurling wheel angle stationary for diamond cutting. Dorian Tool 3-Wheel Knurling Tool is designed to knurl small diameter and excessively long parts where push-type knurling tools will deflect the material.

The 3-Wheel knurling tool will knurl the parts with tight tolerances and superior knurl quality because the three wheel knurling system applies less pressure per wheel, controlling the displacement and the form of the material. Likes: 2 Post 1 Post 1.

Just curious if there are tools for something like this? I assume you mean spherical. That would be an interesting problem. The knurl pitch will change with the depth of cut, just like the spacing of the teeth on a bevel gear as you move along a radius.

I've never encountered such a requirement. I'll be interested to hear what others may know. Good luck with the project. Originally Posted by viper. We are looking at a surface where we are supposed to knurl a radiused surface. Not sure if you are talking about a Convex or Concave Radius..
